The 163-mile Pennsylvania route mostly follows off-road trails, including the popular Great Allegheny Passage, Montour Trail, and the Panhandle Trail.

Eventually the route will go all the way to San Francisco.

Pennsylvania’s portion of U.S. Bicycle Route 50 connects Maryland to West Virginia through a variety of natural and agricultural landscapes, historical sites, thriving small towns, and recreational hot spots. Cyclists can visit restored rail stations; Ohiopyle State Park, which has some of the best white water rafting on the East Coast; Point State Park in Pittsburgh; and the nearby Fort Pitt Museum. Additionally, Amtrak’s Capitol Limited route parallels U.S. Bicycle Route 50 between DC and Pittsburgh and offers the opportunity for cyclists to carry their bikes on or off the train at any station. This multimodal option allows for more flexibility to plan bicycle trips without a car.

In addition to the eastern end of USBR 50, the DC area also is the location of the northern end of USBR 1. Seems like one should be extended a little to connect to the other.

Someday you'll be able to bike all the way to San Francisco, making Indiana a bike-over state.
